Chapter 779 Fighting Rome Again

Neither side scored a goal in 90 minutes, and Solskjaer did not make any substitutions.

Due to the global pandemic, FIFA has modified the rules of football matches so that five players can be replaced in each game.

But even so, Solskjaer did not make substitution adjustments.

The team is going to play overtime, who knows what will happen next?
Players' physical strength must be conserved as much as possible.

In the second minute of stoppage time, Xia Xing intercepted a pass from Copenhagen in the backcourt.

After stealing the ball, move forward decisively!
This made the Copenhagen players explode instantly!

Stop him!
Stop him quickly!
Don't give him a chance to move forward!

But just when all the defenses were focused on the middle, Xia Xing suddenly started!

A long pass went straight to the right front of the penalty area!
Martial!
The French forward successfully countered offside and received the pass accurately!

Facing the goalkeeper alone, he calmly pushed the ball into the net!

1 is better than 0!

Manchester United scored the winning goal!
The excited Manchester United fans instantly went crazy!
Countless fans shouted Martial's name loudly!

And more people were shouting Xia Xing's name!

They knew very well that Xia Xing would definitely take more than half of the credit for the goal just now!
Wonderful steal, precise long pass!
The only thing Martial has to do is to shoot the ball just like he usually does on the training ground.

This goal is so crucial!

Several teammates wanted to rush towards Xia Xing, but Xia Xing pointed at Martial and motioned for everyone to hug Martial. After all, he was the scorer.

In an instant, Martial was surrounded by his teammates, enjoying the joy of being surrounded by stars!
This feels great!

Xia Xing also walked over and patted Martial on the shoulder.

In the Manchester United team, Xia Xing does not have a good relationship with Martial.

Because in the confrontation between Xia Xing and Pogba, Martial stood firmly on Pogba's side.

So even if it was a public challenge to Xia Xing.

But even so, at critical moments, Xia Xing will still pass the ball to Martial for the benefit of the team.

The performance just now is enough to make people cooperate.

Looking at Xia Xing's back as he turned away, Martial felt a little emotional.

It would be great if there was no conflict...

In the end, this mediocre game ended with the final decision of Manchester United.

The score of 1-0 is not good enough, but it is enough to advance.

Manchester United successfully won, and the other three teams in the Europa League semi-finals were all produced.

After Roma and Inter Milan advanced, Shakhtar Donetsk swept Basel 4-1 and successfully reached the semi-finals.

The next matchups are Manchester United VS Roma, Inter Milan VS Shakhtar Donetsk.

Serie A teams account for half of the Europa League semi-finals.

Serie A teams are playing well this season.

The first game is Inter Milan VS Shakhtar Donetsk.

In this game, Inter Milan showed super combat effectiveness.

They used their swift attacks to tell the Ukrainians that their good luck was over.

The two forward stars Lukaku and Lautaro passed shots to each other within thirty minutes and each scored a goal.

2-0, Inter Milan took the lead easily and ended the first half.

As a combination of one high and one fast in the team, the two have a good understanding of each other.

It must be said that Lautaro is "high" and Lukaku is "fast".

The two have completely different competitive styles from their appearance.

Lukaku relied on his impact and speed to bully Shakhtar Donetsk's defense.

Lautaro even made his opponents helpless with his precise shooting skills.

Two goals have determined the direction of the game.

In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again. Shakhtar Donetsk wanted to counterattack in a big way, but unexpectedly, Inter Milan won two games in a row again. Lukaku and Lautaro scored again, both scoring twice.

The team leads 4-0.

It is worth mentioning that the assister of these two goals was left winger Ashley Young.

The third captain left Manchester United this winter and joined the Serie A team Nerazzurri.

And here, he has a second spring.

Under the guidance of Conte, he seemed to have returned to his all-powerful peak, killing everyone on the left wing.

The crosses after the two breakthroughs just now found Lukaku and Lautaro who were advancing forward.

The assist was brilliant.

Before the end, taking advantage of a corner kick, central defender Godin scored another victory with a header.

In the end, Inter Milan locked the score at 5-0.

A hearty victory gave them a ticket to the Europa League final.

The Nerazzurri, who have failed to prove themselves in European competitions for many years, now have a chance to win European trophies.

Compared with this game, the other semi-final one day later was much more complicated.

Roma is now in full swing, and Manchester United is even better.

Both sides are looking forward to qualifying for the Europa League final.

For Roma, they have been without a championship for many years and are looking forward to creating miracles.

Although Manchester United just won six crowns a few years ago, times have changed and the team's status has declined. They need a decent championship to boost their morale.

Especially for Solskjaer, he hopes to prove his worth with a great championship trophy.

In this battle against Rome, both sides were bound to win.

Roma still uses a 3-4-2-1 formation, which is full of attack power.

In this Roma team, many players are very familiar with Manchester United.

For example, striker Dzeko once played for Manchester City and often fought against Manchester United.

The same is true for former Manchester City defender Kolarov.

But speaking of the one who is most familiar with Manchester United, Mkhitaryan is the one.

As a former Manchester United player, he knows this team all too well.

During the warm-up moment before the game, Mkhitaryan came to the Manchester United half and greeted several old acquaintances.

Mkhitaryan left Manchester United during the 2018 winter transfer period. Although it has only been two and a half years, Manchester United has changed a lot.

In particular, Manchester United's lineup has changed a lot from when he was there.

Valencia and Ashley Young, who once had a good relationship, have left. Midfield partners Herrera and Fellaini are also not in the team. Rooney, Lukaku, and Sanchez are also not in the team. Carrick also changed his jersey. Suit became an assistant coach

There are also many changes that make Mkhitaryan feel unfamiliar.

But De Gea is still there, Xia Xing is still there, and Lingard is still there.

Mkhitaryan greeted his old friends warmly, and everyone was very friendly to him.

Recalling Manchester United, Mkhitaryan still has many good memories.

Although he left the team in the winter of 2018, he also contributed to the five subsequent championship trophies.

The team even specially sent him a set of five championship medals to thank him for his contribution to the team in the first half of the season.

It was Mourinho's idea and Mkhitaryan was extremely grateful.

As long as your efforts are recognized by the team, that's great.

This is one of the reasons why he still has a good impression of Manchester United.

When we meet again, even though we are old friends, we must fight with swords.

Come on guys!

Let me see how far you have grown now! (End of chapter)
